    Description

    For two years I have been creating an "ecological place for farmers and sharing" , at the gates of Ajaccio in southern Corsica, in the middle of the maquis and near the river.

    The goal is to become autonomous in electricity, water, dry toilet; vegetables, fruits... and ultimately total autonomy.
    In the future I would like to sell fruits, vegetables, eggs and honey in a peasant cooperative, in partnership between several peasants. But for the moment no sale is possible because the project is not advanced enough. We will content ourselves with being self-sufficient in vegetables just for our consumption.

    My "eco place" will be composed of several workshops:
    - Market gardening in living soil, in order to consume beautiful and good vegetables.
    - Poultry: White geese, Rouen ducks and laying hens.
    - Beekeeping: a dozen "Made in Corsica" hives made of endemic Corsican Laricio pine.
    - Arboriculture: Avocado, Kiwi, Kiwai, Fig tree, all these trees are created, grafted on site.

    The concept is simple, if I work alone, I don't go out for lack of time. If a Workaway helps me, my free time increases, so I can take advantage of this time to visit the region which is not lacking in attractions.
    We are looking for someone willing to learn and share their experience with us, because we too learn every day, hence the interest of this exchange.

    The exchange will be a few hours of help per day against meals and accommodation.

    I could make you discover our island of beauty, share good meals and many magical moments.

    Depuis deux ans je créer un "éco lieu paysan et de partage", au portes d'Ajaccio en Corse du Sud, au milieu du maquis et prêt de la rivière.

    Le but étant de devenir en autonome en électricité, eau, toilette sec; légume, fruits... et a terme autonomie totale.
    Dans le futur mon aimerions vendre, fruits, légumes, oeufs et miel dans une coopérative paysanne, en partenariat entre plusieurs paysans. Mais pour l'instant aucune vente n'est possible car le projet n'est pas assez avancé. Nous nous contenterons d'être autonome en légumes juste pour notre consommation.

    Mon "éco lieu" sera composé de plusieurs atelier:
    - Maraichage en sol vivant, afin de consommer de beaux et bon légumes.
    - Aviculture: Oies blanche, Canards de Rouen et Poules pondeuses.
    - Apiculture: une dizaine de ruches "Made in Corsica" fabriqué en pin Laricio endémique Corse.
    - Arboriculture: Avocat, Kiwi, Kiwai, Figuier, tous ces arbres sont créés, greffé sur place.

    Le concept est simple, si je travaille seul, je ne sors pas par manque de temps. Si un Workaway m'aide, mon temps libre augmente, je peux alors profiter de ce temps pour faire visiter la région qui ne manque pas d'attraits.
    Nous recherchons une personne désireuse d'apprendre et de partager son expérience avec nous, car nous aussi, nous apprenons tous les jours, d où l intérêt de cet échange.

    L'échange sera quelques heures de travails par jours contre repas et logement.

    Je pourrais vous faire découvrir notre ile de beauté, partager de bon repas et de nombreux moments magiques.

    Accommodation

    I don't think I have the time to be able to offer permanent accommodation, so it will be pretty shaded camping pitches under the maquis (tent, mattress and pillow will be provided) with magic shower and dry toilet.

    Je ne pense pas avoir le temps de pouvoir proposer un logement en dure, donc ce sera de jolie emplacement de camping ombragés sous le maquis (tente, matelas et oreiller sera fournis ) avec douche magique et toilette sec.
